It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.
When a group of military advisers sneak into an abandoned prison to test an experimental virtual reality combat simulator, they find a vengeful ghost has infiltrated the software looking for revenge and must stop it before they become victims of its wrath.This was a pretty enjoyable effort that has some pretty decent things about it and a lot more than would be expected for such a film. The atmosphere here is incredibly well-done, using an abandoned prison which is filled with disused equipment, dust-covered surfaces and long, dark hallways which are nicely done to maximize the creepy factor, and once the ghost gets involved it's got a lot more to like about it there. The back-story here and generally original feel of the plot make for a good time, and the film never really lags so it's got some pretty decent action to keep it interesting. The main problem here is the film's rather tame kills, which while dished out in the virtual world allow the CGI gore to be truthful and realistic, aren't used for the main characters at all and leave their deaths feeling rather shallow. The other problem here is the final half, which is totally out-of-place, missing a lot of the impact they should've had considering storyline developments and really missing what could've been a great punch to what's going on, mainly through the writing which leaves motives totally lifeless, shallow and the ending as a whole pretty weak. Otherwise, this one wasn't all that bad.Rated R: Graphic Language and Graphic Violence.
If it weren't for the language and gore, this would look just like your typical SyFy channel movie of the week. The plot (described elsewhere on this site) is hackneyed and uninspired. The ending is particularly predictable.Don't get me wrong, the film is at least competent, it's just that the producers didn't have the talent, budget, or script to produce anything impressive.Adding to the distaste is the political slant of the director and writer(s). You know...all noncommissioned officers are sex perverts and sadists, acting openly to molest female enlisted personnel and torture prisoners to death; each female soldier is worth ten male soldiers due to her commitment to having to "prove" herself throughout her military career; and the government routinely captures and tortures female terrorists, which would be a bad thing even if they are in fact murderous bitches, but it might be a good thing, too....who knows? What it boils down to for me is that this film is made with some skill, but I never cared about what was happening to the characters. This is in direct opposition to some other films that are made rather poorly, but which have compelling characters and a decent story.Choose this one if you don't bore easily.
The military is using a virtual reality machine to train soldiers for a variety of situations. When a bunch of the soldiers sneak in one night to use it for their own ends they find that the virtual world is haunted by a female ghost looking to kill them. Will they be able to stop her? You've been here before, any number of times the question is do you want to see the same story yet again. To be fair it's well done but way too familiar to work, especially when you can pretty much guess what the ending is going to be. Worth seeing, but I'd wait for cable or some other "free" means of seeing it. 5 out of 10
Surprisingly good for a low budget horror believable cast and interesting tech story will definitely recommend it to my friends who are both gamers and horror fans.In an age where gore and cheap copies seem to be the mainstay where special effects and big names are all that seem to matter, this film was well paced and enjoyable.It was also nice to have a film that didn't believe it needed to be two plus hours long.If you want a horror film that caters to both gamers and fans of the genre and you can take it for what it is British indie horror movie then I hope like me you will enjoy watching.Will definitely be keeping an eye on the people who made this.
